This thread has gone on too long. I think it'd be better if we all just came together, and agreed that Justin Gabriel sucks ass, and doesn't deserve to be on national television. Okay! Let's sweep it under the carpet! But seriously, I'm not offended by the joke at all, in fact it just sucked because it was really unfunny. What I do have a problem is, is with the attitude of just sweeping away the problem and/or telling us how to feel. I'm sorry but if I want to be offended, I'll be offended and just because some guys are going "Free Speech! Free Speech!" isn't going to change that.

Nobody is saying that there should be a law against making tasteless gay jokes anyway, so talking about free speech is a moot point.

I'm offended by the joke. I'm offended by most of Cena's jokes, because they're so bad.

Let me just say that the whole board will be on his back if he made a joke about his nationality.

What jokes would you even make about being South African? If there are stereotypes, they aren't known in the US (at least, as far as I know)
Call him the whitest African American?

If Cena came out and made some sweet apartheid jokes, I think there might be some people offended, but more that would be unaware of what that even is.

It's like that Seinfeld episode where Jerry got offended at another guy's Jewish jokes not as a Jew, but as a comedian. Cena should be banned from trying to be funny ever again.

He did look like he was doing a stand-up routine.
I was like "Lol Wut?"
I mean, he just sucks at being funny.

Seriously there are a whole wealth of terrible vuvuzela jokes that nobody even touched while the world cup was going on. Now it's too late. I feel like WWE has failed me. I mean they could have done GAY VUVUZELA JOKES at him! It's so easy! I AM OFFENDED THAT NOBODY MADE GAY VUVUZELA JOKES

I was sleeping in the room next to Justin Gabriel last night, and man is he loud, it was like he was blowing a vuvuzela, but then a strange man in a leather uniform exited his room.

Twitter was entertaining last night, a load of fangirls upset at Cena not because of the gay joke but because if it was true then they wouldn't have a chance with Justin, yeah that's the only reason. I'm bi and I wouldn't mind having Justin on 'our side'. lol. This actually ties into the point that baffles me even more (since homophobia isn't exactly unexpected from pro wrestling). One of the most successful, profitable, rising stars in WWE in recent years was a cute, young, high-flying babyface who brought in female viewers who wouldn't otherwise be watching WWE, and that guy's gone now. It's far too early in Gabriel's career for him to take Jeff Hardy's place, of course, but he has the potential to fill that void, and could/should easily be being groomed as that sort of character. So why the f*** are they making jokes about how effeminate Gabriel is like it's a bad thing when they could be milking it for all the fangirl attention it's worth?

Since nobody else has apparently said it... "Justin GAYbriel" Also, as much as I disliked the Cena promo, he was a trillion times worse with the gay jokes in 2003-2005 (maybe even 2006). It seemed every promo was "You and (Other wrestler) like to be together a lot...IN THE BATHTUB!!! And also, POOP! Arent' I funny! Ah-HAA!"
